| | I haven't felt physically terrified for ages. I managed to tough it out, but I'm still feeling a bit uneasy. Ever since my trainer gave me a new training program last Sunday, I had lots of trouble breathing large amount of air. My lungs want to expand but my rib cage seemed to have reached its expansion limit. When that happened, my ribs and the sternum hurt like needle piercing my chest. At first, I thought it was just a quick pain. I tried holding my breath once my rib cage can't expand anymore to see whether the pain will go away. It didn't. For the first time in ages, I wanted to consult a physician to see whether this is normal. The new program is a bit less intensive than the previous one, but this one works the shoulders and the abdomen a lot more, something that I've requested. My left shoulder is very weak even though the shape suggests otherwise. As for the abdomen, I'm not a fan for 6-pack, but I didn't feel them as much as I should be in the previous 2 programs. I nearly blacked out again last Sunday. Maybe it was because I didn't had breakfast and lunch wasn't as delicious. The appointment was 1pm. After the appointment, my upper part of the abdomen hurts even when I'm walking. I did have trouble walking at first because I was really tired. Then, I went back home and my parents wanted me to move things here and there. Consequently, I re-watched Wimbledon's 5th set at night. Then, last Tuesday, I tried the program again. The pain still didn't go away, but I did feel better. This morning, when I woke up, the pain was completely gone. Maybe it was just a matter of time before my body gets used to it. I haven't felt this kind of pain for ages (that's the third time I'm mentioning this).
Up to some point, my trainer feels a bit bad. He wanted to test my physical limitations. Up until now, he and I still don't know the full extend since I adapt way too fast. He did nicknamed me "The Beast". He now made me do side-twists while hanging myself in the air. He first wanted me to do chin-ups and lift my knees touching my elbow, but that was the exercise that killed me flat. He certainly didn't expect that. Some of you believe that I'm already fit and there's no need to train to this level. Honestly, I still feel weak, and that I'm far from even reaching half of what I'm capable of doing. Sure, I've gained weight and my cardio is the best I've ever been, but I feel weak. Personal wish to drastically increase my non-existent potential, or am I just watching too much anime? |
